CallerID Name over IAX2 trunk - shows local not remote name

Hi,

I have 2 FreePBX systems trunked together via an IAX2 trunk and calling works fine between them. The issue is that the extensions at each location overlap. ie. System A has extension 100 - 150 and System B has extension 100 - 150 as well.
In order to call between systems, one precedes the extension with an 8. ie. on System A, dial 8100 to get to extension 100 on System B and vice versa. This works fine however the callerID Name shown is of the local system and not of the remote system.

Example
System A, ext 100 is Joe
System B ext 100 is Peter

If Joe calls anyone on System B, then the callerID number will be 100 but the callerID name shows as Peter instead of Joe.

I understand it is picking this name up from the local system but this is incorrect so is there anyway of preventing this local lookup fir the IAX trunk and passing the remote callerID name?

I have the routes set as Intra-Company routes and for the trunk to allow any CallerID.

Any thoughts on passing the correct callerID name?
